1x12 Library Book Cart

LOVE this!! Its just fantastic & so are you :) i'll be adding it to my to do list!! Thanks Ana for all that you do!!

Thanks, Ana! I have children's books in anticipation of a child someday soon, and this would hold them all perfectly. BTW, I purchased four of the 20-gallon totes from Home Depot - perfect for my Christmas stuff and much better than cardboard boxes! Hope they keep supporting the site!

thanks Ana, I love this! so beautiful and simple!

I was loving this in the catalog last night & wishing you would make plans! I wake up this morning to plans! Thank you!!

When you do the upholstered bed are you going to use bed rail clips (like this http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=10&Max=999)? I was going to try and build an upholstered bed from your chunky leg bed frame eventually, but couldn't figure out how to use the clips without them interfering with the fabric. I'd rather use the clips over screws because it would have to be disassembled and moved and reassembled.

I just got my Land of Nod catalogue in the mail, and wondered if the library cart was something you had drawn-up plans for. WOW! What a wonderful coincidence! This cart looks like it'll work even better! Thanks, Ana, for all the inspiration and the extra help we need to complete these awesome projects!

Sooo cute! Yet another project to add to my list! :)

So excited for this! I'm a teacher and have been thinking of purchasing one, but they are way too much $, this is the perfect solution.

As a total booklover, I LOVE this library cart! Can't wait till I can build something like this for my little one!

Perfect for our homeschool books in our teeny tiny house! Thanks Ana - I can't wait to get started!

This is definitely going on the "to make" list! Thanks, Ana!!!

My children are all grown up and moving out on their own so I have plans to convert their room into a sewing/craft room which will also be our guest bedroom. This book cart will be great for storing my craft and sewing books. I'll be making the day bed/trundle bed to go in that room also. We raised three kids in a two bedroom mobile home and have learned to make the most of every inch of space. Your plans are helping me to re-do our whole house with even more efficient, space-saving furniture. Thanks so much for sharing with us, Ana!

I love this, but I am equally excited about the farmhouse benches that are coming! Hope they are here before the new year.....I have a naked table :)

I can't wait to make this this weekend, (along with the dress up rack) for my baby girl's 4th birthday. She is going to love using it to cart all of her Fancy Nancy books everywhere. Thank you so much.

Love it! I homeschool my kids and we take out dozens of books every week. I want this! Thank you!

I was just going to email you today with this idea! I am so glad that you found this plan and already have it done. I think this may be the first Ana White project I will make! Thank you. I do have an awesome side table idea that I need to get to you.

Ooooh, this is too cool! My kiddos would love pushing this around. And I know Kyras teacher would love this...maybe a teachers gift :)
Good for you making something for yourself, it's how we keep motivated right!?

Oh and I am uber exited to see you have a kitchen banquette on your list of plans to do!!! Woot!

Great project.

The size for the back of the top shelf wasn't given. Any guess what this may be?

What a great idea for the craft room! Maybe I'll try the 16 inch version so it can hold my scrapbook paper - next to my table when I'm in there, back on the wall when I'm not!

It is exhausting the amazing things you come up with for me to add to my build list! I LOVE this. My daughter is a huge reader. This would be awesome for downstairs use and move. Love it! Thank you

I am so, so excited! You just made my day! I was just looking at a certain website last night and saw this and thought...."Man, I wish Anna had the plans for this on her website. This would be absolutely perfect for us." Yay!!!!! Thank you!

SO cute! I wish my girls were a little younger so we could make this! We'll have to figure out someone to make it for!!

Jill, thanks for noting! Just fixed it! Really appreciate you feedback. Ana

Ohh I love love love this!!
Also, I about jumped out of my computer chair telling my husband that the Kitchen Helper is on your to do list. I've been wanting one (and I meand badly) for the last 2 years. If I buy you a coffee will that entice you to put that next on your list ;)

This is so cute and would look great in my daughter's room! I am so very excited about the kitchen helper and can't wait to see the plans! My hubby gave me the go ahead to purchase one online for $150 this week, but I haven't wanted to part with the money! Now I will be patient just a little longer! You are awesome, Ana!

I am building this for me and for my office! I think I may have to make one (or two) for the home office and for work. I love the look and it would make organizing easier in both places. I think I will use your plans for the file cabinet base to measure a box for the lower shelf. That way I can have a long hanging file box below and space for binders and books on top! You are amazing!

My 3 year old wants one for the play area in the basement, one in the living room and then 3 upstairs (one for each bedroom). I said it has wheels to move it "thats sooo cool mommy" she reponded. As I type with her on my lap the list of how many she thinks we need is growing.
So we will be making one well 2 a more grown up painted on for my sewing/craft area. Would be great not to be confined by my bookshelf. I am so limited on space as it is.

What a great idea with the hanging folders below ok maybe I now need 3 not 2.

I am building this tomorrow! Got my list ready and heading to homedepot!
Thanks Ana, you are amazing!

can't wait to see!

I love this! I was just telling my husband that I was on a search for a better way to organize our kiddos' books. This is perfect!

Thanks, Ana! Might be just the thing to get my daughter's books out of the various baskets they are in! Loving the price, too :)

As a new homeowner and a single mom of an almost-one-year-old (man, time flies!) baby girl, and being the type of person who jumps into new crafts/hobbies on a whim, I've been watching the site and making plans to start building soon...but this was the plan that actually got me going! My cart is sitting in the garage, wheels removed, wood filler drying so that I can put on a coat of primer after the baby goes to bed.

Ana, I LOVE those pink scallop-edge bins on the bottom shelf. Where are they from?

Another one of MY designs.  Yes, I designed this for the Land of Nod, along with many other items you decided to post.  I am a single father raising two young girls. I support our family as a designer. 

Yes, Anna, you are amazing.

Thank you SO much for this easy to follow plan -- My husband made this as his first project with a new saw and it came out beautifully! I had been eyeing the pricey land of nod version for over a year so I am thrilled!!

I am having a hard time cutting out the handle holes. My problem is the tight curve with the jigsaw. I have cut stress cuts so that as I am going around the blade is not under pressure but I can't seem to get it well rounded. Any pointers or techniques for this?

Thanks in advance.
